Just now, the elders were tested, and all of them were in the lower and middle grades. Unexpectedly, when it was the turn of the children of the appropriate age, the first one gave Chen Xiao a surprise. He couldn't help but ask Xi Yunting: "How is this talent?"

Xi Yunting curled his lips and said, "As long as you are not particularly stupid, you can join the Chongxuan Sect."

Chen Xiao took a breath. To be selected into the Chongxuan Sect, he must be really good. You have to know that in Fan Village, out of the ten young men selected, only five were left to test their comprehension.

Tong Nuonuo also nodded repeatedly behind him and said, "The Zhongxuan Sect is a famous and large sect, the top sect among the immortal sects. The minimum standard for becoming an inner disciple is naturally higher, with the top grade being the bottom line. In fact, for ordinary sects, the middle grade is enough. A top grade disciple can go to other sects and become an inner sect inheritor." It was at this moment that Tong Nuonuo realized that Xi Yunting was actually from the Zhongxuan Sect.

Chen Xiao suddenly realized that the upper grade was actually a watershed, equivalent to the admission score of key universities. The middle grade students could also go to colleges, just ordinary universities.

The conversation took a while. Ah Shu, who was standing by the table, waited for a long time without a response and didn't know what to do. His eyes, as moist as grapes, were about to cry, and he looked at Chen Xiao eagerly.

Chen Xiao's heart softened when he saw this, and his tone became even softer: "It's okay, Ah Shu has a great talent! Very good!"

Ah Shu finally smiled, but between his lips and teeth there was a black hole with a missing front tooth. He was halfway through his smile when he suddenly remembered the missing tooth and immediately covered his mouth with his hand.

Chen Xiao then realized why the boy was so shy. It turned out that he was just changing his teeth. Knowing that Ah Shu was concerned, Chen Xiao deliberately suppressed his smile. He said to him, "Go down and find your parents and tell them the good news."

Ashu nodded obediently, turned around, ran down the stage, and threw himself into the arms of his waiting parents.

Seeing other families so happy, Chen Xiao couldn't help but feel envious. When he looked away, the second child had come up. It was also a boy, older than Ah Shu, about eight or nine years old. He was a little impatient and walked quickly to the table. Without waiting for anyone to ask, he put his hands behind his back and said in a serious tone: "My name is Ah Qin, and I'm eight years old this year."

Master Xi's attitude was always aloof. He just nodded and pointed at the magic weapon and asked him to come forward. Ah Qin swallowed nervously, rubbed his hands on his sides, and then reached out and pressed on the magic weapon.

After a while, the edge of the magic weapon lit up. Chen Xiao looked at it and saw a mixture of four colors, three of which were slightly bright and soft, and only one color was very bright.

Ah Qin seemed to find the scene in front of him very strange, and stared at it curiously. However, it seemed that his parents had taught him the rules and told him to behave well on stage. He endured it and stood there neatly.

Xi Yunting followed the same process as before and gave his conclusion: "Four spiritual roots, top grade, water, wood, wind, and earth."

This order was subtly different from the previous one. Chen Xiao paused, but did not ask any more questions and wrote down the order as it was.

Ah Qin smiled happily when he heard that he was also a top-grade one. Then he bowed to the people sitting on the stage and walked away quickly.

After he ran downstairs, I heard him shouting, "Dad and Mom, Aqin is top-grade—" His little voice was even a little shrill with excitement.

Chen Xiao shook his head with a smile. The old people just wanted to find out the truth, and they were also happy after learning the conclusion, but they were more relieved. These children were different, just like a group of young and lively chickens. No matter how hard they tried to be well-behaved, they couldn't stop chirping.

With two top-grade products in a row, it seems that what Chen Xiao said might come true. Master Xi couldn't help but become more serious.

Because of his strong aura, the children who came on stage later became more obedient. They followed the procedure of the people in front of them, first reported their names and ages, then took the test, and after Chen Xiao registered, they ran off the stage. Only when they were with their families did they dare to laugh boldly.

Chen Xiao had inquired about the number of children of this age group before, and there were exactly 40 of them. Eighty percent of them could practice, and the remaining twenty percent could not. Therefore, eight of the children who came up later pressed on the magic tools, trying so hard that their foreheads were sweating, but there was no response. Although Chen Xiao couldn't bear it, he could only let the villagers who were helping him take these children who were so sad that they were about to cry away.

They may not know that they have no talent, but before the conclusion was drawn, they still held on to a glimmer of hope. Now that hope is shattered, some of them burst into tears as soon as they got off the stage.

Some are happy while others are sad. Chen Xiao can do nothing about it. Xi Yunting has experienced a lot and is used to such scenes. He has no expression on his face. Tong Nuonuo and Du Rong are practitioners. It is difficult for them to understand the loss of ordinary people, so they are not deeply touched. But they are also infected by the emotions at the scene and remain silent for a while.

Along with the low cries, there were also small cheers from time to time. Among the thirty-two talented children, there were exactly twenty-one of them that Chen Xiao had mentioned, and they were of the highest quality. Among them, sixteen were of the highest quality, and five were of the best quality. This number moved even Master Xi, who had been keeping a cold face and pretending to be indifferent.

After verifying the influence of Feng Shui on the village, Chen Xiao couldn't help but smile happily. Xi Yunting solemnly called the village chief, and the next people to undergo the spiritual root test were the elderly people between 51 and 69 in the village.

In fact, among ordinary people in this world, there are many grandfathers in their forties who get married and have children early. However, among cultivators, those in their forties are the most energetic and vigorous youth. Some cultivators of this age have remained single to maintain their condition. They will not consider getting married and leaving offspring until they are in their fifties. Therefore, the marriage age in the village is uneven, and the age difference between generations is even more than thirty years.

The elderly people of this age group were considered the second generation after the village was established. The spiritual talent of this generation was much worse than that of the fourth generation, but obviously better than that of the first generation. Most of them were still of middle or lower level, but a few were of upper level.

The last to come on stage were the young and middle-aged people who had been waiting for a long time. These people accounted for most of the people in the village, and the few people worked until it was almost dark before they finished testing everyone.

The final result was quite gratifying. In the entire Changjia Village, regardless of age group, there were a total of 43 people with top-grade talents, six of whom were the best.

After sitting for a whole day, Chen Xiao's body was stiff, and he stretched hard. At this time, Ah Shou brought a few women and brought pots of steaming and fragrant dishes to the table.

On both sides of the platform, several torches were lit, illuminating the increasingly dark vision. In the bright light, Chen Xiao and his companions found that the dishes were more abundant than ever before. There were flying creatures, swimming creatures, and even a whole pot of rare wild mushrooms. This sumptuous banquet was prepared by every household in the village with their best goods.

The village chief brought chairs and invited four people to sit down. Although he wanted to sit at the end, he knew that his status was too low. He asked Ah Shou to entertain them. He only toasted a few glasses of wine and thanked Master Xi and the others for their hard work. Then he stepped down and went home to celebrate with his family. On this day, in addition to two people in their family who had their spiritual roots tested, one of them was excellent.

Because Ah Shou was most familiar with these people, he was not so restrained at this moment. He opened the mud seal of a jar of white wine and laughed very heartily: "This wine is brewed from grain. On weekdays, it is only dug out from the bottom when there are weddings or funerals in the village. It is very sweet and delicious! You must taste it! The immortal masters have worked hard today! I toast you a bowl!"

The village chief had just brought a set of wine glasses, but Ah Shou threw them away and used a bowl to pour wine. Tong Nuonuo had never drunk alcohol before, and Chen Xiao only drank a few glasses with others when he came here for social events. Neither of them could drink much. After just this bowl, he could lie down.

Chen Xiao suddenly had an idea and remembered something and said, "Hey? A'shou, what is your spiritual root talent?" He brought up this topic just to interrupt, and then thought about it carefully, he really had no memory of A'shou's talent at all.

Ah Shou was holding the wine bowl in a daze. Then he put the bowl down, slapped his head and shouted, "Oh no! The village chief just called me to work, and I forgot that I haven't tested my spiritual roots yet!" As he said that, Ah Shou stood up anxiously.

He got up early but arrived late. He squeezed to the front early, but they were the last to take the test. By then, everyone was a little impatient. Seeing that he was in the front, they told him that the immortal masters also lived in his house and always went to his house for meals. They could take the test anytime, so they asked him to make way. They were all in a hurry to finish the test early so that they could go home to cook/take care of the children/wash clothes, etc. After making way, Ah Shou ran to the end.

When there were only 20 or 30 people left, the village chief called him out of the queue and told him to entertain the distinguished guest. Then the women started cooking and asked him to look at the menu and taste the dishes to see if they suited the immortal master's taste.

Representing the village to accompany distinguished guests is a very prestigious event. It was the first time that Ah Shou was valued so much, he was very excited and felt honored, so he went without any hesitation.

As a result, when he came back with the women carrying the dishes, the stalls were already closed. He was busy setting up the banquet and running around with the village chief, and for a moment he even forgot about his own business!

Ah Shou explained the reason in annoyance, and everyone present laughed. Even Master Xi curled his lips. He said to Ah Shou, who was standing there stupidly with a look of regret, "How difficult is this? I'll give you a test."

Chen Xiao also smiled and said, "Yes, I promise to register you in the book and you won't be left out."

Xi Yunting took out the inkstone-like magic tool and placed it on a corner of the table. Ah Shou was excited and embarrassed, rubbing his hands and apologizing and thanking. Du Rong laughed and scolded: "Don't dilly-dally, test it quickly. After seeing the results, we can start eating!"

Ah Shou smiled, his expression became serious, and then he reached out and pressed the magic weapon. In an instant, the edge of the inkstone lit up with a dazzling blue light, which suddenly made people's eyes blur!
